This paper presents an adaptive actuator failure compensation method, which compensates for uncertainties due to unknown actuator failures for redundant manipulator systems. The method is first developed for manipulators ...

Noise emission is one of the major concerns in wind turbine industry and especially for small scale wind turbines, which are mostly erected to the urban areas; the concern is turning into a problem. This paper focuses on ...

In approximate function generation synthesis methods, error between the desired function’s output and designed mechanism’s output oscillate about zero error while crossing the zero error margin at precision points. The ...

This paper presents the design of different control strategies applied to a heating element nonlinear model. The description of this heating element was obtained exploiting a data-driven and physically meaningful nonlinear ...

The solution of extended Graetz problem for micro-scale gas flows is performed by coupling of rarefaction, axial conduction and viscous dissipation at slip flow regime. The analytical coupling achieved by using Gram-Schmidt ...

This study focuses on the proper characterization of temperature profiles across grain boundaries (GBs) in order to calculate the correct interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) and reveal the influence of GB geometries onto ...

This study is concerned with the fracture of an infinite thick-walled cylinder. The inner surface of the cylinder is stress free and the outer is rigidly fixed. The cylinder having a ring-shaped crack located at the symmetry ...

In this paper, some of the important defeating mechanisms of the high hardness perforated plates against
7.62 x 54 armor piercing ammunition were investigated. The experimental and numerical results identified
three ...

This paper aims to show an optimum sizing procedure of autonomous PV/wind hybrid energy system with battery storage and a break-even analysis of this system and extension of transmission line. We use net present value (NPV) ...
